Synopsis
After writing about her dispiriting experiences as a member of the working poor in NICKEL AND DIMED, Barbara Ehrenreich sets out to get a job in the corporate world. What she gets is a job search, rather than a job, as she finds out that getting a job can be real work. "Barbara Alexander" (Ehrenreich's undercover name) spends months with all kinds of people who seem willing to help her polish her résumé and fill her with uplifting motivation--for a price. She learns new ways of dressing, moving, and speaking, and finds that qualifications and experience seem to matter little. Ehrenreich gets close to the window of the candy store and peers in, only to discover that those who have managed to land jobs in the white-collar world are often miserable, overworked--and disposable.

Publisher's Note
The best-selling author of Nickel and Dimed focuses on the world of white-collar unemployment as seen through the eyes of the unemployed, describing the woes of "surplus" employees, let go by today's ultra-lean corporations, who are forced to confront, sometimes for months or years at a stretch, the realities of financial hardship with few social supports or security.

Industry Reviews
"[Ehrenreich] plunges into a whole new pit of degradation, an anonymous world of career coaches and networking meetings....Luckily, Ehrenreich leavens the grimness with wry descriptions of the many would-be gurus she meets en route, all of whom sap her wallet while urging her to 'stay positive'....The book is liveliest when Ehrenreich unleashes her bitchiness and skepticism on these 'transition' consultants."
Village Voice - Joy Press (09/07/2005)

"The humorous and the melancholy are tightly entwined throughout the book. My own experience as a reader was to seesaw between laughter and moments of abject terror at the thought of ever ending up on that particular job market."
Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.) - Scott McLemee (09/24/2005)

"[Ehrenreich's] at her best--wry, eloquent, hilarious--describing the charlatans who market themselves as career coaches and try to prep her for a career search."
Entertainment Weekly (09/09/2005)

"[Ehrenreich] is once again a smart, mordant observer of the world that her book describes....BAIT AND SWITCH is about a process rather than an end result, and it captures that proceess all too clearly. As usual, Ms. Ehrenreich makes great, acerbic company for the reader and tells her story knowingly."
New York Times Book Review - Janet Maslin (09/15/2005)
